Since the heyday of Romanticism, gallant ghosts have haunted our imaginations. Sometimes troubling, sometimes amusing, they have crossed continents and eras, as well as film genres, as the films gathered here bear witness.

Before he was killed in a dark alley, Sam was in perfect love with Molly. After his death, he becomes a ghost and manages to communicate with a shady psychic who helps him investigate his murder and communicate with Molly. A huge popular hit on its release, Jerry Zucker's fantasy drama was the biggest commercial success of 1990 in the United States.
